Dave,

Just remember. If they can dupe you into thinking that the landing was not
a hoax, they can also dupe you into thinking the landing was a hoax.

You can read these things any way you want. If you want to believe
something, you will. People have a habit of collecting only the data that
supports their agenda, discarding everything else, even though everything
else can be 100:1, 100 not supporting, 1 supporting.

They make lots of mistakes when constructing a theory hoping to dupe the
public. Fortunately, they are easily detected.

After researching the moon landing, one might be interested in the following:

The Flat Earth Society asserts that the Earth is flat and has five sides.
And they can prove it!
